  Decent grenache. Kirsch, dark chocolate, dusting of pepper. Measured richness and balance. Some alcohol thins the finish but better with food.

  The back label says this is the best Grenache ever made by Kilikanoon and I can believe it. It's not a dense wine - somewhat like a heay Pinot Noir in color and weight. Chcolate and kirsch on the nose. This is quite lean although it's ripe and juicy sweet which makes it a great wine for sipping. This wine is also a good food wine as it isn't heavy and trying to compete with your meal. This has excellent balance despite the 15% alcohol which didn't really show. Not a lot of complexity but I didn't really care as it was a very easy and enjoyable wine for drinking now. Not sure if this will age well, though. Finishes moderately long. Excellent but expensive
